Rather than speculate as to the cause, if Gabi would email me privately with 
the output of 

  . program list genfail

or post the output to the list, I'll be glad to take a closer look.  

If I had to speculate, then I would say within the program -genfail- Gabi has

  . replace t = ... in 2/1

instead of 

  . replace t = ... in 2/l

Note the last character.  It is the letter "l" for last, not the number "1".
